Chelsea came back from 2-1 down in Naples to earn a really impressive victory against Antonio Conte’s Napoli, and secure a top 8 finish in the Champions League.
MOTM – Joao Pedro
Analysis
Following his superb showing against Crystal Palace on Sunday, Joao Pedro was the hero again here, scoring two and showing how high his confidence is right now.
Already it seems that Liam Rosenior’s tactics are suiting his number 9s more than Enzo Maresca’s formations ever did.
